Joey told me tonight that the Reward for choosing the right all day should be, being able to dream about Heaven. lol.

He's had a rough couple of days lately, he's only 9 and really struggling to understand getting old and death and dieing and the whole concept of Heaven etc. He had a panic attack, of sorts, a few days ago and started crying at the thought "what if he had never been born" Or "what if it's all a lie and there really is no Heaven after we die"..........

WHAT? How does a 9 year old come up with these things?

We worked through all that, found some scriptures to calm his fears, and then again last night the subject came up again, he calmly told me that he's realized that he's having these feelings for a reason and he needs to figure out why and learn from them. (Wow that seemed a little deep for an almost 10 year old. I'm still trying to figure out this stuff and he's "explaining it to ME" lol.)

Then he wanted to make up a scripture game where you drop your scriptures on the bed and read where ever it lands, I had to explain a few of them to him but overall he was very impressed at how each one had helped him. He made me pinkie promise that we'd play this game every night for the rest of our lives. (He says he's not going to get married or move out, because I might still need him when he's older) LOL
We'll see how long that lasts.

This is more of an entry for me to remember a special evening, but it always amazes me the things Joey teaches ME every day. He truly is my little Guardian angle.
